Jan 12, 2016

The Story Prize's three finalists for books published in 2015 include There’s Something I Want You to Do by Charles Baxter, Fortune Smiles by Adam Johnson, and Thirteen Ways of Looking by Colum McCann.

The Story Prize, now in its 12th year, recognizes outstanding short story collections chosen from 100 submissions representing 64 different publishers or imprints. 

Founder Julie Lindsey and Dark established the Story Prize to bring attention to the short story form. The Chisholm Foundation underwrites the award, as it has since its inception. 

The winner will be announced at the Story Prize’s annual award event at the New School’s Auditorium at 66 West 12th Street in New York City at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 2. The winner will be presented with $20,000 and an engraved silver bowl. The two runners-up will each receive $5,000.
